PACKET FOR BRAID AND OTHER NARROW FABRICS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 23, 1911.

Application filed June 11, 1910. Serial No. 566,289.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES S. KING, a citizen of the United States, andresident of New Rochelle, in the county of Westchester and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Packets forBraid and other Narrow Fabrics, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to improved means for protecting braids, tapes,bindings and the like, while at the same time exhibiting to view aportion of such fabric, and the object of my invention is to simplifyand improve the wrapping for the fabric to thoroughly protect andconceal the main port-ion of the bolt of fabric.

My invention comprises novel details of improvement that will be morefully hereinafter set forth and then pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming partthereof, wherein,

Figure 1 is a face view of a bolt of braid or the like protectedaccording to my improvements; Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional viewthereof, and Fig. 3 is a detail view illustrating the manner of foldingthe wrapper and braid together.

In the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates a bolt of braid, tape, lace,binding or analogous narrow fabric, and at 2 is a Wrapper for said boltinclosing the main portion thereof. Said wrapper comprises a baseportion 2 upon which the bolt of fabric is placed, said wrapper havingflaps 2? at opposite ends and wings or flaps 2 at opposite sides. Inapplying the wrapper to the bolt of the fabric, a portion of the fabricis unwound from the bolt, as about two lengths of the bolt, and then thebolt is laid upon the wrapper with the portion 1 of the fabric extendedbeyond one of the flaps 2 which is folded between the bolt and the part1, and the other flap 2 is folded over the bolt and topmost run of thefabric, as shown in Fig. 3. The side flaps 2 are then folded over uponeach other and over the bolt, and the part 1 of the fabric that extendsbeyond the Wrapper is then folded around beneath the wrapper and overthe top of the wrapper at 1 The free end of the part 1 of the fabric isthen secured to the part 2" of the wrapper, as by seal 3, retaining theparts securely together. The main part of the braid will thus beprotected by the wrapper, and the two runs 1, 1 of the fabric will beexposed on opposite sides of the wrapper. To remove the bolt of fabricfrom the wrapper it is merely necessary to remove the sealed end of thefabric, or tear the wrapper at the seal, when the exposed parts 1, 1 ofthe fabric may be unwound from over the wrapper and the latter laid openas in Fig. 3.

Instead of using a seal the fabric may be secured on the exterior of theWrapper in any desired manner.

Having now described my invention what I claim is An improved article ofcommerce comprising a bolt of fabric substantially rectangular and awrapper having folding members at opposite ends on opposite sides of thecentral portion, one of the members being folded between the bolt andthe run of the fabric and the other end member folded over all of theadjacent fabric, the side members being folded over each other upon thefabric and the inner flaps, the exposed portion of the fabric beingwound around the end of the wrapper and held in contact with the sidesof the Wrapper, and means for fastening the end of the fabric and theside portions of the wrapper together, whereby the WILLIAM A. W. GRIER,MARIE F. WAINRIGHT.
